Synthetic fibers are helplessly plebeian. Your best bet is canvas, leather or both. I'd probably go for a canvas one with leather accents. I'm concerned that leather would get dirty too easily, but I could be wrong - anyone here use an all leather one?

Nice post.

I've been looking for a nice weekender for months now, wanted one similar to the diesel one in the bottom pic, but the $300 price tag scared me off.

One other thing I take exception to is the term duffel bag. It sounds like a glorified gym bag to me. Weekender sounds much better.
